DJ Rashad cancels European tour following car accident

DJ Rashad has been forced to cancel his forthcoming European tour due to injuries he sustained in a car accident last month.

Rashad severely injured his hip and ribs in the accident on September 19. According to a statement on Hyperdub’s Facebook page, the DJ had hoped to be travel and performing again within weeks, but after attempting a handful of US shows it has now become too painful for him to travel and stand for long periods of time.

The Chicagoan’s new album Double Cup is out on October 22, his first album for Hyperdub following the release of two EPs on the label this year. Last month FACT sat down with Rashad and his brother-in-arms DJ Spinn to talk about drill, moving away from Lit City – and why you call their music ‘feminine’ at your peril.
